Appeals Court Ruling on National Guard Deployment
A recent ruling has forbidden the White House from deploying National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago.
The Trump administration's attempt to deploy troops in Illinois was met with a lawsuit from state and local officials, who claimed the move was "unlawful and dangerous."
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had said it was deploying the troops to support Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
- The deployment was intended to support "Operation Midway Blitz," an enforcement effort.
- The operation has led to over 1,000 arrests, according to DHS.
Author's summary: Trump's National Guard deployment plan blocked.
